6.28.Â Adding Users and Groups

Some ports require a particular user account to be present,
usually for daemons that run as that user. For these ports,
choose a unique UID from 50 to 999 and
register it in ports/UIDs (for users) and
ports/GIDs (for groups). The unique
identification should be the same for users and groups.

Please include a patch against these two files when
requiring a new user or group to be created for the
port.

Then use USERS and
GROUPS in
Makefile, and the user will be
automatically created when installing the port.

USERS= pulse
GROUPS= pulse pulse-access pulse-rt

The current list of reserved UIDs and GIDs can be found
in ports/UIDs and
ports/GIDs.
